You're right: civilian nuclear programmes are not cost effective compared with renewables. But, there's also the military aspect to this too. Military nuclear benefits by hiding/sharing some of the costs, industrial infrastructure, training, expertise, supply chains, etc with a civilian programme. If there was no civilian nuclear programme, the defence budget would be much bigger to fund things like the nuclear navy.
The UK is at 46% renewables, and that number is increasing rapidly. Why hasn't it collapsed yet?

You fail.
Rename the North Atlantic to the English Pond, and have King Charles scribble his name in a giant black marker on the bill when it makes its royal ascent.
Whitehall's taste for secrecy is 'needlessly' straining relations between the two allies.
Never mind the thin skinned orange man baby and the effect heâ(TM)s having on relations with all his back stabbing and attacking of allies! Perhaps look a closer to home and fix your own house first.
Why does the UK need to respond to what some American politicians think?
These are the same thing these days!
After Expedia bought Hotels.com, they killed off their rewards scheme and all their prices went up against others like Booking.com. They backtracked on the rewards scheme, but it's still not as good as it was before. They also made things like the login experience harder (why are they sending me 2FA emails instead of text messages, which are faster and auto populate in my browser almost immediately?!).
I haven't booked through Hotels.com for years because they are more expensive. Expedia gives the same results for hotels, so it's pointless. I only use Expedia to search for flights because it's more reliable than sites like Skyscanner, but then I go to the airline's website and book direct. I'd rather deal directly with the airline if there's a last minute problem with the flights than have to try to get Expedia to help.
It was a joke! It should have been modded funny.
It would probably do us all a favour if Russian's didn't have an overinflated sense of how large their country is compared to everyone else's. West to east across North Africa is the same distance as a large part of Russia, although you wouldn't believe it from traditional maps, and north to south is even more exaggerated.
I highly doubt anybody is using a map of the whole world for navigating, hence the Mercator projection is pretty useless and obsolete now.
Half a metre? Half a km? Half a mile? If it's half a mile just to your gate, I can't imagine you live close to very many restaurants.
Besides, you get an ETA and you can track the delivery people, so you know when it's coming.
We don't need to see the American name, we all know the real name already.
Just curious though: do people outside the UK see the French name for the English Channel?
Trump complains other countries don't respect America enough, but then he does this shit, which just attracts derision and disrespect. He'll be dead in not many years, but we'll still be laughing at the US for electing him.
In the 2000s, the average
The SNR of the low ranked comments is still too much for me to handle perusing at -1.
